IT´S ALL IN THE MIX
Success in the rubber and tire industry depends on the ultra-precise feeding and dosing of raw materials within extremely short timeframes—tasks that demand specialized technologies, in-depth expertise, and, above all, experience.
Zeppelin Systems offers complete plants covering the entire process: from raw material intake and storage to conveying, weighing, and dosing of carbon black, silica, zinc oxide, oils, and other additives and minor ingredients.
Our advanced, industry-specific solutions deliver measurable benefits—both economically and ecologically
No excess carbon black, no missing gram of silica, no misplaced drop of oil or additive: in an industry where materials with vastly different properties are fed into mixing processes, nothing can be left to chance. At the same time, manufacturers face the challenge of meeting the highest environmental and health protection standards—without compromising productivity. Whether you’re planning a new facility or modernizing an existing system, our globally proven solutions ensure that every item on your specification sheet is checked off with confidence.
Turnkey Solutions for the Mixing Room in the Rubber and Tire Industry
No room for chance—our turnkey mixing-room solutions are packed with intelligent details and deliver top-tier quality, maximum productivity, and cost efficiency. From rapidly installable, high-density silos to product-friendly conveying systems and highly reliable weighing and dosing technologies, we provide everything needed for a fully integrated and future-ready mixing room.

Zeppelin Systems technology
For safe, efficient, and optimized plants
Only by fully understanding the product in detail can plants be designed to operate safely, with optimized processes, high energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The Zeppelin Systems technical center in Friedrichshafen is equipped with all components and systems relevant to process engineering. It also houses one of the world’s largest bulk-material libraries, containing the expertise our specialists have accumulated over decades of working with bulk solids.
Two large-scale test facilities for granulates, powders, and additives enable trials to be conducted at full industrial scale—even special configurations are possible. Our experts determine all relevant design parameters and carry out precise result analyses—providing you with a solid foundation for your investment decision. A few examples include:

Storage & discharge
Faster isn’t always better
Industrial-scale conveying trials with carbon black and silica have shown that excessive conveying speeds can destroy carbon black beads and increase fines—an issue that slows down the mixing process. Our patented overflow system ensures gentle conveying of raw materials. You can also rely on our expertise when it comes to conveying recycled or renewable materials.

Conveying
Silo discharge of bulk material
With our unique Smart Storage Solution, you can proactively prevent material shortages—such as those caused by disrupted supply chains. Larger silos create valuable buffer capacity and offer security, while the volume can be flexibly adjusted to current market demands. Precise material discharge is ensured by our rotary airlocks.
